Belcea Quartet Beethoven Cycle: Belcea Quartet
Beethoven Quartet Op.18 No.1 in F; Quartet Op.59 No.3 in C; Quartet Op.132 in A minor
The third in the Belcea's bold year-long project to perform and record all Beethoven quartets. This concert features three works united by Beethoven's search for new forms that would better express the ambitious architecture he had in mind for his quartets. Whereas the earliest quartet features the robust humour of a Scherzo as the middle movement, Op.59 No.3 offers a light and graceful Menuetto. The late Op.132, then, provides a perfect stage for the Belceas to show their dramatic range, from the tender Trio to the divine Adagio and the highly expressive Finale.
